I've been skulking around a bit for a while and figured it was time to say gudday. I love this site. My girlfriend bought me a Coopers kit as an early Christmas pressie and I've relied on this sight for almost all of my info. Bought another one the other day and I can honestly say that brewing is the first real hobby that I've taken to.
I'm Jim and I'm a 19 y/o student from Albury. I'm loving my homebrewing (Coopers Real Ale kits are my current love, though I've got a Coopers Sparkling Ale kit that I'm waiting to try, picked up a 6pack of the real stuff for the first time last night and I absolutely adore the stuff. Must be the best beer I've ever had in my short life.) I was convinced that I simply didn't like heavy beer until I tried homebrew (due to the heavy standards in Aus - VB/Melb Bitter) and after my first brew of ale i've found I love it. Got a lot of great advice from the fellas here and just wanted to throw a cheerio out. You can expect to see me stalking around a bit.
I don't know much about beer, but I know I like it.
Cheers,
- Jim. (think I'll just go by my name, bugger this internet anonymity BS)

good choice with Coopers mate, Pale and Sparkling Ales crap over just about every other ozzie commercial beer
I won't disagree with you mate. I've only tried Coopers and I have no intention of going elsewhere for my kits. I'm about to have the last of my first Coopers Sparkling Ale 6 pack. Best f---ing beer I've ever had. I really have trouble understanding how CUB has such a huge share of the market with Coopers on the case. I'm 19 and I don't claim to know a lot about beer, but I know Sparkling Ale shits all over anything CUB has on the market. Cheers mate.
And Mewshew, aren't you a Eddy Murphy disguised as a dragon?
Welcome aboard anyway, we try to be light hearted here. Don't give up on the honey
